Sorry for digressing ever so slightly from the subject
I had a discussion with one of my colleagues about the consequences of starting your engines with Fuel pumps OFF. To my surprise he said, its no big deal and that the engines would start normally as they would be fed by gravity( Gravity fuel feed ceiling being FL150) . I have not seen any literature which approves this viewpoint. Has anyone ever accidentally tried switching on the engines without fuel pumps running ?
